Intended Use:
Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built and
tested for use indoors, and outdoors protected from the direct elements, and with the provided power supply and
cabling. The use of a power supply other than the one provided or outdoor operation has not been tested and
could damage the device and/or create a potentially unsafe operating condition.
Important Safeguards:
Read and understand all instructions before using. Do not operate any device if it has been dropped or damaged.
In this case, a Vaddio technician must examine the product before operating. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions.
Use only the power supply provided with the system. Use of any
unauthorized power supply will void any and all warranties.
Please do not use “pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors. These pass-thru type connectors do not
work well for professional installations and can be the cause of intermittent connections which
can result in the RS-232 control line failing and locking up, and/or compromising the HSDS™
signals. For best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for proper
pin-outs prior to use and connection to Vaddio product.

Pre-Installation:
 Before starting the installation of the DomeVIEW HD Weather-Resistant Outdoor Pendant Mount Dome,
please read this manual. There are several things to consider before mounting a dome camera enclosure.

When locating the dome, consider camera and subject matter viewing angles, lighting conditions, possible
line of site obstructions and check for construction challenges where the camera is to be mounted. Pick a
mounting location to optimize the performance of the camera. Avoid locating lighting elements or direct
sunlight.

NOTE: This Weather-Resistant Outdoor Pendant Dome must be protected from the elements and installed
under a building overhang, canopy or any other building structure and out of the direct elements and direct
sunlight.

Vaddio HD and RoboSHOT Series PTZ cameras use Cat-5e cable for video, power and control. When
terminating the Cat-5e cabling, please make sure that each cable is marked and tested for proper termination
of all ends with a continuity tester. Please do not use the “pass -thru” type RJ-45 connectors.

All work must conform to local building codes and should be performed by qualified
personnel. For the most obvious reasons, a ladder is probably required to install the
DomeVIEW HD Enclosure. Safety comes first, so please use safe tools, ladders and
installation practices.

Always measure twice, and check your work, then cut once.
STEP-BY-STEP Installation Instructions:
Step 1:
It is easiest to mount the dome on the 1.5” NPT pipe mount
or wall mount and then install the contents of the dome to
avoid cabling problems as the dome is spun onto the pipe
mount. Generously apply pipe thread sealer (right) and
install the dome on 1.5” NPT pipe by rotating counter-clock
wise until threads are fully engaged. See Step 8 now if
positioning is critical.
Note: The camera and contents can also be installed on the
ground, but extra care must be taken with the cables when
the dome is spun onto the 1.5” NPT pipe threads - Installer’s
preference.
Step 2:
Loosen the two (2) 10-32 x .375” screws on the platform that
are key-holed and fully remove one (1) 10-32 x .375” screw
from the camera platform. Slide the two loosened screws
through the keyholes and remove the Universal Camera
Platform with the heater/blower attached to the underside of
the platform. The heater/blower circuitry will be accessible on
the back of this mounting plate.
Step 3:
The heater/blower circuit card receives power from the included 24 VDC power supply. This power supply powers
the fan and heater strip only. The power supply is connected to the +24VDC and GND terminals on the circuit
board to power both the heater and the fan. Pull the 18AWG 2-conductor cable (not supplied) through the 1.5”
NPT Pipe and connect the dome as shown on the next page
Step 4:
Pull the camera’s Cat-5e cabling through the 1.5” NPT pipe at this time.

DomeVIEW HD Weather-Resistant 12” Outdoor Pendant Mount Dome
Camera Platform and Heater/Blower Components:
When powered up, the fan will run continuously. The heater resistor will turn on at 45° F (7.22222 ºC) to keep the
contents warm. Operating range with the heater blower is -10°F to 115°F (-23.3ºC to 46.1ºC).
Step 5:
Connect the 18/2 cable to the green Phoenix type connector as shown (circuit board is marked +24VDC and
GND).

Step 6:
Take the provided ¼”-20 x 5/8 Screws and attach the HD-18/19 camera to the camera platform.
NOTE #1: If using the HD-19SE/20/22/30/USB camera, take the thee (3) .75” long 10-32 threaded M to F .5” Hex stand-off
extensions and attach them to the Three (3) 2.5” long 10-32 threaded F to F .5” Hex stand-offs in the bottom of the dome’s tub.
Tighten the hex stand-offs firmly with a socket or nut driver. Attach the HD-20 camera with the provided ¼”-20 x 3/8” screws to
the Camera Platform.
NOTE #2: If using the RoboSHOT Series cameras, remove the installed Three (3) 2.5” long 10-32 threaded stand-offs from
the dome’s tub, and replace with Three (3) 4.0” long stand-offs. This will compensate for the height difference of the
RoboSHOT’s spatially efficient design. Attach the camera with the provided ¼”-20 x 3/8” screws to the Camera Platform.
Step 7:
Set the camera dip and rotary switches (functions and video resolutions prior to installing it in the dome). Re-install
the Universal Mounting Platform inside the dome with the camera attached. Slip the keyholes over the screws in
the stand-offs and tighten down all three platform screws Connect the Cat-5e cables according to the manual
that was included with the camera package purchased, making sure the cables are tucked up behind the
mounting plate to avoid interference with the PTZ camera movement and away from the heating resistor and fan.

DomeVIEW HD Weather-Resistant 12” Outdoor Pendant Mount Dome
Step 8:
Once the camera is installed in the dome, pull the cable slack back through the pendant extension pipe or curved
wall mount. The pan range is ±170°, allowing for flexible camera positioning and presets.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If positioning is critical, purchase a 1.5” NPT jamb nut (not provided) and thread it on to the
wall or pipe mount before connecting the camera and mounting the dome. Once the dome is mounted, the
camera cabled and a generous amount of pipe sealer applied to the threads, loosen the dome on the 1.5” NPT
pipe mount (no more than 1/4 turn) and position the dome for preferred viewing angle of the camera. Apply
another generous bead of sealer around the top of the dome’s 1.5” NPT” pipe adapter and pipe threads. Thread
down the jamb nut and firmly tighten it against the dome’s pipe flange adapter and apply another generous bead
of sealer around the top of the jamb nut to seal out moisture.
Step 9:
Attach the 12” dome to the enclosure with the three (3) attached stainless steel screws and tighten down to
compress the weather sealing gasket and create a water-resistant seal.
Step 10:
Connect the camera at the head end according to the camera system manual.
Step 11:
Connect the 18/2 cable (not supplied) to the 24 VDC, 2.0A power supply using the attached 2-pin screw terminal
adapter and plug the power cable into a power outlet. The fan will start to run. Use 16/2 cable if the distance is
critical.
NOTE: Check all Cat-5e cables for continuity in advance of the final connection. Plugging
the Cat-5e cables into the wrong RJ-45 jack may cause damage to the camera system and
void the warranty.
